"pem Golden slippers"

OF all the charms dear woman wears,
or all her many traps and snares,
For real effect there's Daught compares,
With neat and natty slipper;
Or, II perchance, the ladies choose,
A pair Of soft glove-fitting hoes
To give all rival toes the blues,
There Is nothing looks so clipper.
This fact is perfectly understood by
the ladies themselves, and passes cur
rent smOrg travelled gentlemen every
where. No matter how elegantly a
lady may be dressed otherwise, how
rich the materials of her dress, or how
genuine her laces or her jewels. unless
her feet are encased in perfectly fitting
shoes or slippers, she loses caste as
lady. As a consequence, the inquiry is
general for perfectly fitting articles of
foot wear, and those who can furnish
them are accepted as genuine benefac-
tors. In nothing are real ladies so par
tiCular, III nothing do they find it so diff
fiCult TO SUIT Themselves as in their
shoes, CATERS and slippers. RecOgniz-
ing this fact, Mr.. WOlfson. Main plaza,
has taken special pains to stock up with
the mast complete assortment of ladies'
shoes md slippers ever seen in this city,
ant ht ia confident that he can suit the
mot particular in this respect. Do not
despair OF a perfect fit until you have
tried Ibis assortment. You will not be

THE NEW CATECHIsM.
"Pacifcation Pays HIS Compliments to
Randolph "-Repubhcan Short
Catechism.


DAILY LIGHT:
Randolph" in the Express, OF July
l3, 1887, uses these brave words Are
we ever to have thorough paciliCatiOn
"a genuine state Of peace, a real restOr-
alton of fraternal feelingP Surely 1t
should exist now, after twenty-five
years have elapsed since the war termi-
mated. Ifit does now exist, why retain
the flags? If the utterances of Fair
child and futile reflect the sentiments
of the G.. A. r., it is nOnsensical to say
there is a thorough paciiicStien, a genu-
inc state Of peace, real restoration Of
fraternal feeling" Now, Mr.. "Ran-
dOlph," If you and your friends would
practice what you preach, in the south,
ut least, we would soon have but few
traces Of the late war.
MIR. Randolph, were you ever in q
democratic county or state convention OF
Texas, since the war? Yes. indeed
Then, did you hear man put in nOmi-
nation before such convention, for
any kind of an office, from con-
stable TO governor, that the nOmi-
mating party did not extoll his nominee
| and claim his nomination and election
on the grounds of the part he took in
the war-On the Confederate side?
Is there now R governor of a southern
state, from Lee, of Virginia, to Ross, Of
Texas, that was not nominated and
elected on his Confederate war record !?
L. there In the congress of the United
| States single senator, with one exGep-
tion (RIddleberger), from the southern
states, who is not there on his COnfeder-
ate record?
Are there exceeding ten members in
h.. 81 hA
south that are not there because of their
being all right from southern stand
point in the late war?
Are there fifty members in the com.
bined legislatures of the southern states
who are not there on their Confederate
records?
Are there, all told, in the southern
states, 200 Oflice-hOlders, state and OOun-
ty, that do not endorse the late "de-
funct" move to dissolve the union?
Are not the original union men in the
south hunted down and prescribed in
the south more bitterly than the Jews in
Russia?
Are not unionists from the north
since the war, forced TO ''sing low" or
abandon their politics and turn demo-
cratic, in order to live and support their
families?
Does not the union man everywhere
10 the south meet this language: HE
is nice man, honest and clever, but
d-m him, lac was against us in the war,
down him."
Now Mr. Randolph" il the above
facts are true, and you cannot deny
them, how much right have you to COM
plain of Gen. Fairchilds in this flag mat
ter?
Now Mr.. "Randolph" If you want
peace in this union, between the sec
tiOns, withdraw your old confederate
leaders from all offices of honor or profit
in the south.
Yes, pull down your "bloody shirt"
and wave it no more in the face of the
nation.
If we must have democrats in the
south, in all our offices, then give us
men for other reasons than their con-
federate records. PACFICATION.

The Other Fellows Did It.

The Austin Record calmly tells its
readers that Sam Love was lynched in
San Antonio on the night of the Sd inst.
for an attempt to outrage two little girls
named Parker. He adds that forty men
fully disguised broke open the door Of
the Jail, took him to the court house and
hung him to an iron bar extending from
an upper door. Nat Q. Henderson is
away off in this record. San Antonio
does not know anything of this lynching
bee for the simple reason that the affair
occurred in Fort Worth, and while she
does not mind bearing the penalty of
her own fOllies and sins, she objects to
being saddled with those Of other cities

such party presents himself, to as
sess his property, and give him a
notice to the Treasurer, to collect
his lax, U1ad Immediately to enter
the name On his duplicate, adding
it to the Treasurer's Duplicate as
soon as he has access TO that book,
but his practice has been simply to
give these "notices," without max
ing any record of them at all, and
afterwards to aggregate them in
cooperation with the Treasurer,
&nd to keep the result on a sepa-
rate piece of paper. The corse-
quence Of this loose method is, that
should any Of these "notices" be
lost, the Treasurer is not charged
with the tax, and therefore does
rot account for it. The result Of
my examination, Sc far as the
amount is concerned, is Of trivial
consequence. The amount actually
npon the Duplicate, and for which
the Treasurer is responsible, is, in
round numbers, about $500 more
than the abstract represents, which
would make about $6l.G0 Of taxes.
This is without reference to the
Railroad matter, for though this
property was omitted from the
book, the tax was properly col
lected and reported. am entirely

have pointed out are altogether the
